Thank your for your perspective, although there are those who will shake their fingers and wag their heads at you because you are not consumed with grief and concern.
I’ve lived through a hurricane (without power for two weeks afterward in Puerto Rico in ungodly heat), tornadoes, you name it. Back in June, we had El Derecho go through (if some of you FReepers haven’t heard of it, thank your precious MSM for that). It came quickly and left quickly and left a lot of destruction. I am not sure how many lost power, but it had to be well over a million, mainly in Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Being on the Ohio River bordering W. Virginia, we were in that number. Despite the crappy conditions (no power in the heat of summer on the river), life went on, my husband went to work, and we kept on living until the power returned. I don’t think Shepherd Smith was in hysterics about us.
I am sitting here watching the snow come down in southeast Ohio (it’s 24 degrees w/the windchill), it’s been raining since Saturday, and I’m pretty sure my neighbor across the road is going to lose a good amount of his corn crop. Some places in West Virginia are getting blizzard conditions. I’m sure they will have a thousand Fox News Alerts for this. (sarcasm)
All the media care about is where they work and live, . Places in WV, western PA ,KY OH etc are getting hit too but alas they are not where these elitist media types work and live so they don;t really care about these states.
The storm is hitting here and there, mostly about NJ, NY and then moving out westward.
Now the storm has hit I see only reports of where it hit in NY, NJ not the other states which it is hitting right now.
We’ve had no power here in FL for two weeks , in humid hot temps, but we got on with it, we had a tree down on some power lines and a neighbor went out with a chain saw and cut it down. We;’ve had no water for over a week but I don;t ever see FOX and others reporting that.
Wildfires in TX and here last year and south GA, nothing, flooding in TN and hardly nothing, tornado’s which hit a lot in a lot fo places and hardly nothing.
I expect sand being washed up, branches coming down, some trees even, power out,after all it was a storm but lets not kid ourselves that this was Andrew and Katrina all in one.
This storm is news because it hit a part of the country which does nto see much of this so the people there will be all in a dizzy and because this is where the media live and work.
When I see reporters harping on as if this was a cat 5 , hell even a 3 then see lights on, a branch down and some sand thrown up ontothe boardwalk whilst people walk their dogs behind the reporter then it puts it into persepective.
Saw one post on here saying people were running for their lives[shakes head]
It’s as if a tidal wave came crashing over and wiped out much of the north east coast
